Message subjects

Most ticketing/issue tracking systems force users to specify a title and a body for a given task.  For most tasks though, we find that having a title is unnecessary and often annoying.  Therefore, No Kahuna doesn’t have task titles.  It’s an example of how we’re trying to simplify things and allow the site to get out of your way so you can get work done with your team.

When we added support for messages awhile back, we thought we’d do an experiment to see if the subject of messages was overkill as well.  It turns out that having subjects for messages does provide value.  While most tasks are short and don’t require a summarizing subject, most messages end up being longer and do benefit from a subject.

Therefore, this morning we deployed message subjects.  We hope you like them!
